p l ti n fi ed fiep embet ,9 28- S r Q- 5e t 1 tion of the invention,such as will enable.

others skilled in the art to-which it appertains to make and use thesame.

My present invention, particularly, relates to garments for infants andchildren, such, for instance, as are especially adapted to be worn outof doors in cold weather. The invention is directed particularly to animproved shoulder and sleeve structure and provides a garment of thecharacter indicated, which may be cheaply constructed, which will have aneat appearance, and which will be highly efiicient for the purposes hadin "iew.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein likecharacters indicate like parts throughout the several views. Referringto the drawings;

Figure 1 is a plan view showing the sheet or blank from which the bodyof the gar ment is formed;

Fig. 1 is a plan view of a supplemental shoulder strip, two of which areemployed in the completed garment;

Fig. 2 is a front elevation showing the completed garment with onesleeve turned out and the other turned inside of the garment; and Fig. 3is a view corresponding to Fig. 2, but with some parts sectioned and thegarment partly opened up.

This improved garment is adapted to be made from a single piece of clothor from a single sheet made up of several sections. When the cloth is ofthe proper width, the body of the garment will preferably be made of asingle piece, but when the cloth is too narrow for that result, then thesingle body forming sheet may be made up, for instance, of a backforming portion 5 and front portions or flaps 5 which may be stitchedtogether on the dotted lines 5.

The sleeves are preferably made with closed ends so that when turnedinto the garment, they will afford pockets. The under side portions ofsuch sleeves are formed by sleeve strips 6 that are primarily attachedto the body sheet 5 at their lower ends.' The back forming portion. 5?is providedwith curved edges? and sleeve strips 6 that are primarilyattached to the body sheet 15 at their lower ends. The back forming:portion i pr v dedi i i u ed-edge 7 an wi h.

neck fmi'ns no ches 8,]flwhi1 th front forming portions 5 are formedwith curved dge 9 and v thr eek fo ming atch s The curved edges 7 and 9are formed by cuttmg darts out from between the sleeve,

forming flaps 6 and back forming portions 5 and front forming portions 5respectively.

The tops of the sleeves and the tops of the shoulders of the garment areformed by shoulder forming strips 11 shown in detail in Fig. 1 Informing the body of the garment, the edges of the shoulder and sleeveforming strips 11 are stitched to the curved edges 7 and 9 and to theedges of the under sleeve forming strips 6, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4,on lines marked 12 on Figs. 3 and 4-. In this way, the shoulder of thegarment is completed and short sleeves with closedouter ends are alsocompleted.

The seams 12 are preferably of the French seam type. The edges of thefront forming flap or portions 6 are arranged to be overlapped andconnected by suitable buttons and buttonholes 13. The garment willpreferably be provided with an attached hood. This hood, indicated as anentirety by the numeral 14,'may be of any suitable construction, so faras the present invention is con cerned, and as shown, is directlystitched to the upper edges of the back and front forming portions 6 and6 of the garment body, and to the upper ends of the combined shoulderand sleeve forming strips 11.
